I have just renwed my South Australian Desert Parks Pass 2006 and can find no reference to towing trailers through the Simpson and other desert parks.
In the past there has been 'word of mouth' advice that the Parks people frowned on taking trailers through the Simpson for a variety of reasons.
With the advent of the Offroad Camper Trailer boom it would seem that they have given up on advising against trailers in the Simpson.

Sometimes, Willem the right hand of these departments dont know what the left one is doing.
I was recently granted a vehicle fee exemption into NP,NSW. At the local office I had to produce the vehicle rego. paper which they photo copied then gave me an interim sticker whilst the official version arrived by post.
Surprise, surprise.. Whilst the interim one was for the vehicle, the official one which arrived by post was for ME.
A phone call confirmed this to be correct, I have the exemption, the vehicle doesn't. Dont know how I am supposed to get there, walk I expect.
I really think you should be able to take a trailer across some of that country, it may also help in reducing the garbage some leave behind. I also think that for the fees you pay there should be a regular patrol of "friendly" rangers who on a low profile sort of basis offer advice and help for any one in need, particularly those with limited experience in those conditions.
Good luck with your trip. kesh

Ahh I have been shown up to having a sight impairment or something as I failed to read the right page.
My apologies for making the blunder. Ref post 32308
